Aaron McLean comes off the transfer list to lead Posh to victory over a youthful Liverpool team in front of a disappointing crowd. Alfie Potter set up McLean following Micah Hyde’s quickly-taken free kick, before finding the back of the net himself. In the second half Craig Lindfield hit the crossbar, only for Gerardo Bruna to score the rebound from 20 yards. Potter nearly scored his second following a cut-back by Craig Mackail-Smith, but it didn’t take long for Posh’s two-goal advantage to be restored as Charlie Lee headed-in Dean Keates’s corner. Fellow substitute Scott Rendell completed the scoring following a charging run by Shane Blackett.
